Took my family who are visiting from India. They'd never seen a game - they were buzzing when we left! Hooked
Have them return and spread the gospel on the subcontinent: "There is but one team and its name is Hawthorn."
 
How was that last goal advantage for essendon, the infringement didnt impede the continuation of a play it was in that congested area thus no advantage should've been given. Dont get me started on the umpire granting advantage to that one for us in the last too.

Seriously how immense was Strats today. I wouldn’t even care if he took 3 votes off of Mitchell. He was an absolute titan down back.

Jaeger just gets better each week. I love seeing Mitchell get 40, Jaeger get 30 and a smattering of players get 15-20 touches. A team effort around two guns.

If this side tastes finals this year then that game will be an excellent primer. It got so bloody loud there towards the end.

To think we can bring McEvoy and Sicily back into this side. I’m getting bloody stoked to think what Clarko can do with this bunch.

Call me crazy - but I think there’s a tiny bit of belief building in this squad.
 
Commentary was disappinting for me. And I actually like Dwayne and Eddie.

I didn't think they were biased one way or the other (aside from Johnno) but when Eddie and Dwayne were using the high quality of the game to justify the impending 6-6-6 shit-truck like some sort of AFL propaganda wing, that was really ****ing irritating.

The last minute advantage was not a howler, not worth getting upset about.
 
Schoey contested all day, people don't see how much he creates with his leading patterns. He wasn't great but strucally he was so important. Gunno does not impact today like he did without the Schoe.

We’ve scored over 100 each time Schoe has played this year. We’ve won each time Schoe has played this year. Not a coincidence.
 
I don’t think enough has been said about our last quarter.

What an amazing ability to dig deep. We played on our terms and just kept missing. They were not in it at all. What happened to their so called speed and fitness to run over the top.

To come off a six day break and deliver in that last quarter is a moment for us to build on in the final three matches.

Confidence boosting performance on the biggest of stages. So satisfying.

KOLOKOTRONIS
 
The hunger is there.

Some good indicators:
1. WE never gave up.
2. The hunger is back.
3 Looks like all the new additions, JOM, Mitch, Impey, and youngsters Worps and Harry are just as hungry as the guys who already have medallions at home.
4. Good headaches for the selectors whn Sis, Big Boy and Co are ready to return.
5. A little tongue in cheek, we should consider Hooker as our big fish. At least we know how to find him.

I know he made some mistakes and he should probably take a shot in front of goals more than looking for other options - but gee I loved what I saw from Harry today. Absolutely rapt with his endeavour. Definitely have one on our hands with this kid.

Tom Rockliff’s cousin!
 
had a bunch of loud mouth scum supporters near me, yelling and clapping every goal, i usually get loud at games, super loud and these scum supporters didnt like it, thought they were gonna start a fight a few times, i hate scum supporters, felt good in the last quarter they shut up for most of it except the last 5 mins, theres were 2 groups 1 group was just a bunch of hipsters making really dumb boring jokes and the other group was 3 guys who looked like they were fresh out of jail, but **** em we won, go rob a 7/11 store ya FILTH...

Were you in M15 per chance?
 
Heart is still racing after that and I’m still bloody buzzing - and I haven’t even had a drink at the game.

Who needs to take drugs - beating Essenscum is the purest high you can get.
 
Roughy had an absolute mare.
Should’ve put us 3 goals up in the third but dropped a sitter.
Should’ve put the game out of reach in the last. Missed a sitter.
Hard to know what to say given he’s a legend but currently a liability. Having said that, we’ve got no one to replace him.
I wouldnt say a liability, he just needs to change his game now that his vertical jump has diminished, he needs to find separation sideways from his man instead of standing right next to him waiting for the bomb in.
